Schloss Tüßling, Renaissance château in Tüßling, Bavaria, Germany
Schloss Tüßling is a four-wing château from the 16th century distinguished by its symmetrical courtyard facades. The building features granite stone columns on the ground floor, while the upper stories display slender Tuscan pillars framing the arcaded courtyard.
Built between 1581 and 1583 for Johann Veith von Toerring on the site of an older castle, the schloss stayed with the Toerring family until 1659, when it passed to the Counts of Wartenberg. A fire damaged it in 1712, and baroque additions followed, including a festival hall in the north wing. From 1958 to 1958 it served as a retirement home run by the German Caritas association.
The castle is privately owned by Stephanie von Pfuel and cannot be visited inside. Its gardens host events such as plant fairs (Gartentage) and open-air concerts, with performers including Joe Cocker, Elton John and Xavier Naidoo. The building has also appeared in films and television series.
The castle stands on the edge of Tüßling's village centre, about 90 km east of Munich, and is privately owned by Stephanie von Pfuel, so the building itself cannot be visited. The gardens host events such as plant fairs (Gartentage) and open-air concerts, and the site has also appeared in films and television series.
The moat that once made Tüßling a water castle still rings the four wings today. Inside, the courtyard's ground floor uses rough granite columns, while the upper storeys carry slender Tuscan columns on baluster shafts; the loggias on the north and south sides were later walled in.
